Data enrichment and augmentation is disclosed. Machine data comprising at least one of a log message and a metrics data point is received. The received machine data comprises an identifier of an instance of a virtual machine. Based at least in part on the identifier of the instance of the virtual machine, a query for tags associated with the instance of the virtual machine is performed. At least one key-value pair is generated based at least in part on tags received in response to the query performed based at least in part on the identifier of the instance of the virtual machine. The received machine data is augmented with the at least one key-value pair generated based at least in part on the tags received in response to the query based at least in part on the identifier of the instance of the virtual machine.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the instance of the virtual machine is configured to execute a collector, and wherein at least a portion of the received machine data is received from the collector executing on the instance of the virtual machine.
3. The system of claim 2 wherein the collector is configured to locally perform a lookup of the identifier of the instance of the virtual machine on which the collector is executed.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein querying the cloud service comprises querying an application programming interface (API) associated with the cloud service.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein querying the cloud service comprises providing, to the cloud service, a set of credentials.
6. The system of claim 1 wherein the received tags comprise a first tag specifying a geographical region in which the instance of the virtual machine is running.
7. The system of claim 1 wherein the received tags comprise a second tag specifying an instance type of the instance of the virtual machine, wherein the instance type comprises one of a graphics processing unit (GPU), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), and a central processing unit (CPU).
8. The system of claim 1 wherein the received tags comprise a third tag indicating a deployment status of the instance of the virtual machine, wherein the deployment status comprises at least one of production and staging.
10. The method of claim 9 wherein the instance of the virtual machine is configured to execute a collector, and wherein at least a portion of the received machine data is received from the collector executing on the instance of the virtual machine.
11. The method of claim 10 wherein the collector is configured to locally perform a lookup of the identifier of the instance of the virtual machine on which the collector is executed.
12. The method of claim 9 wherein querying the cloud service comprises querying an application programming interface (APO) associated with the cloud service.
13. The method of claim 9 wherein querying the cloud service comprises providing, to the cloud service, a set of credentials.
14. The method of claim 9 wherein the received tags comprise a first tag specifying a geographical region in which the instance is running.
15. The method of claim 9 wherein the received tags comprise a second tag specifying an instance type of the instance of the virtual machine, wherein the instance type comprises one of a graphics processing unit (GPU), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), and a central processing unit (CPU).
16. The method of claim 9 wherein the received tags comprise a third tag indicating a deployment status of the instance of the virtual machine, wherein the deployment status comprises at least one of production and staging.
18. The system of claim 1 wherein receiving the machine data comprises collecting the at least one of a log message and the metrics data point from the virtual machine.
19. The system of claim 1 wherein the key-value pair includes a name of the tag received from the cloud service and a value of the tag received from the cloud service.
20. The system of claim 1 wherein the received tags comprise a fourth tag specifying an identifier of a host where the virtual machine is executing.
